It's the Little Things You Savour This April Fool's Day, I remembered my grandmother's little joke: Every year, she used to send me a check on April 1st for one million dollars. Even the silly traditions have meaning. Every April Fool's Day for the rest of my life, I'll think of her and smile. I'll remember a gentle, supportive lady with an understated sense of humor and a special Norman Rockwell glass in her cupboard reserved just for me.
